The Citation X holds the title of the fastest fully certified civilian aircraft, boasting a top cruising speed of 92% the speed of sound.
Computational Fluid Dynamics were employed during the design phase to optimize airflow and reduce drag.
With wings swept at an angle of 37%, the Citation X minimizes aerodynamic drag more than any other business jet.
Customized specifically for the Citation X, these engines provide over 6,700 pounds of thrust per engine, offering an unparalleled thrust-to-weight ratio and fuel efficiency in its class.
The Citation X impresses with a cruising speed of around 600 mph.
Capable of a 3,500-mile range, the aircraft also maintains fuel reserves sufficient for an alternate landing within 230 miles.
The aircraft can reach a maximum altitude of 51,000 feet, while maintaining a cabin pressure equivalent to 8,000 feet.
These additions can extend the range by another 200 miles and allow for even greater airspeeds.
The aircraft accommodates 9-12 passengers, typically configured in a twin club arrangement.
The cabin offers ample room for all passengers, stretching 24 feet and allowing for full stand-up capabilities.
A complete refreshment center, plush and wide seats, and a lavatory equipped with a flushing toilet, vanity, and washbasin ensure a luxurious travel experience.
Comparable to the storage space of a typical minivan, the compartment is both pressurized and heated.
Both the airframe and landing gear undergo stress tests, subjected to five times the stress of a standard lifetime.
The Citation X fleet has collectively traveled the distance to the sun and back, achieving one million landings in the process.
Great FBO. I have flown into Cochran Airport a few times to visit Palm Desert. They have nice services inside and parking and good attendance. Very clean and friendly.
From the Request For Quote, all the way through to the Return To Service date, Desert Jet Aircraft Maintenance was undoubtedly the right choice for our heavy inspection. As a part 91 corporate flight department, we benefit from doing business with those who understand our operations, as well as our aircraft.
One of the most efficient and friendly FBOs. Amazing People!
Great service all around. Timely, professional, extremely courteous and know what they’re doing. I’ve been in aviation for some time, and this is a quality organization.
Desert Jet Center is our top FBO for the Palm Springs area for a lot of reasons. Great facility, safety culture, and pricing. Also, an added bonus is the fact that they have Maintenance on-site with a very knowledgeable team.
We just recently flew in to TRM Desert Jet and needed a maintenance team to check out our plane. The team was very helpful and took care of us right away even though it was later in the evening. Big thank you for helping us out.
Excellent CSRs, going out of their way for us. Line does an excellent job as well. Great FBO because of the people who work there.
